Total hip arthroplasty has become one of the most successful orthopaedic procedures ever developed — in most cases effectively ridding patients of pain and disability. Patients are free to sleep ...

A new surface coating for rolling element bearings has been developed by Schaeffler that insulates the bearings from damage caused by the passage of electrical current in large AC or DC motors.

Any golfer knows that a ball with dimples has vastly superior aerodynamic characteristics versus one that's completely smooth. Researchers at SKF have found that dimpled ball and roller bearings ...

Brammer and NSK Bearings look at common types of bearing damage and how they can be prevented. Rolling element bearings are a key constituent part of virtually every rotating machine and consequently ...

Engine bearings do many things. They support moving parts like crankshafts and connecting rods, but they also play a role in determining an engine's oil pressure and protect the crankshaft from being ...

Greases help sleeve bearings operate with less maintenance. Understanding bearing oscillation angle, temperature, friction, and grease replenishment requirements will keep bearings working longer.

Wind turbines are fitted with multiple bearings that each wear differently. Today, larger stresses in larger turbines are testing conventional bearing designs, particularly in mainshafts. Photo ...

Fluid film thrust and journal bearings should provide plant operators with years of worry-free operation. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Too often, premature bearing failure results in ...
